Referring to the drawings, c

. 10 indicates an ice cream cabinet of the l usual construction.4 provided with a lid 11 4titl and ya draining Ltube 12. 13 indicates the icecream container which is used prefer' ably' fr brick ice cream and which container is provided with a lid 14. Secured on opposite sides of Vthe container 13 -are pockets 15 which are formed out oi a single .16 overthe portion 17 and leaving an openlng. 18 therein. 19 indicates a vertical flange which 4is spaced apart'irom the portion 16. leaving an opening19a. The lower end of theU portion 16 is riveted to the portion 17 by means of' a' 'rivet 20,- thus closing the lower end of the opening 18. The upperend ofthe,y portion 17 is riveted to the contailler-.13 Aby means of` rivets 21 passing through an opening 22.

rlhe pockets l5' -are permanently secured to the sides of the piece of sheet metal by folding the portion v container 13,` and being secured to the container directly opposite each other. Secured to the cabinet 10 on opposite sides thereof and centrally on each side, are blocks' 23 lnvvhich is formed a vertical channel 24E. 25 indicates a retaining wing which is formed out of sheet metal andhas a right angular portion 26 adapted to be inserted in the opening`18, and a.l portion 27 adapted tobe inserted in the opening 19a. The retaining wing 25 may be inserted and removed from the pocket, and the portion 27 isadapted to be positioned in the slots or channels 24. In order to retain the por-, tion 27 of the wing in the slots 24C, lemploy books 28 which are pivotally secured to the blocks 23 by means ofv a. screw 29. These hooks are adapted to be inserted over the top edge ofthe portions 27, and thus secure the retaining wings within the channels 24. ln'F ig. 9 I have shown ay modified form for 'holding the portion 27 in'the slots, wherein l secure blocks 30 tothe sides of the cabinet,

and a removable block 31. The removable block 31 being inserted between the blocks 30 and block '23. As previously pointed out j one become broke or bent, it can be removed and another inserted.
